Chaenomeles
''Chaenomeles'' is a genus of three species of deciduous spiny shrubs, usually 1–3 m tall, in the family Rosaceae. They are native to Japan, Korea, China, Bhutan, and Burma. ((ビルマ語:ချဉ်စော်ကား)) These plants are related to the quince (''Cydonia oblonga'') and the Chinese quince (''Pseudocydonia sinensis''), differing in the serrated leaves, and in the flowers, born in clusters, having deciduous sepals and styles that are connate at the base.
The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, and have a serrated margin. The flowers are 3–4.5 cm diameter, with five petals, and are usually bright orange-red, but can be white or pink; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The fruit is a pome with five carpels; it ripens in late autumn.
''Chaenomeles'' is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail and the leaf-miner ''Bucculatrix pomifoliella''.
==Common names==
Although all quince species have flowers, gardeners in the West often refer to these species as "flowering quince", since ''Chaenomeles'' are grown ornamentally for their flowers, not for their fruits. These plants have also been called "Japanese quince", and the name "japonica" (referring to ''C. japonica'') was widely used for these plants in the 19th and 20th centuries, although this common name is not particularly distinctive, since ''japonica'' is a specific epithet shared by many other plants. The names "japonica" or "Japanese quince" were (and still are) often loosely applied to ''Chaenomeles'' in general, regardless of their species. The most commonly cultivated ''Chaenomeles'' referred to as "japonica" are actually the hybrid ''C. × superba'' and ''C. speciosa''; ''C. japonica'' itself is not as commonly grown.
